We are joined by Tom Redmond to find out more about Chetham's 'Brass Academy' — a free initiative that takes place on Sunday 6th February and which is open to players of Grade 4 standard and above from the ages of 11- 18.

It's a great day starting at 10.00am, and will see cornet, trumpet, French horn, tenor horn, baritone, euphonium, trombone and tuba players inspired by the likes of LSO Principal trombonist Peter Moore, trumpet player Jason Evans of the London Philharmonia and euph star Dr David Thornton amongst others.

All you have to do is register and come along and enjoy yourselves.
